The fire in the 23600 block of 30 Ave. S. destroyed two mobile homes.
When firefighters from Kent and SeaTac arrived at the scene, one mobile home was already fully engulfed in flames and a second was burning due to winds and close proximity.

A total of eight adults and six children have been displaced. Red Cross is assisting the two families.
Fire crews were able to contain the fires and keep them from spreading to other homes.
